Selena's POV"Then we'll fight," I said, my eyes turning white in front of them all. They marvelled at this but Raven seemed to be the most excited."Gather the loyal warriors left," Rowen commanded a warrior nearby, moving into his inner chamber to get his armour ready. "The Seer is marching with us."The door closed with a soft thud, leaving I and Raven in the room. "Seer," Raven called, seductive walking toward me, her eyes loose as she leaked her lips in a weird manner.I took steps backwards, already sure what her antics were."Stay away from me," I said, moving backwards again and keeping my eyes away from her."Oh don't be old, Seer," Raven said, slapping my shoulder playfully. "I just want nothing but a favour from you.""Say it," I commanded, stretching my hands towards her and causing it to glow ominously. "But don't you come any closer." Her eyes on my hands, Raven hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly "Alright, then," she said, clasping her hands behind her back.

Selena's POVI turned back and said some incantations, my eyes instantly turning red this time. Suddenly the arrows froze up in the sky, turning ice. Muttering another incantation, the iced arrows turned and hit the wolves in the trees, sending them down to the ground. All the warriors, upon hearing loud thuds, stopped and looked back. Their war chants grew as all the bodies fell, painting the forest grounds red. "All hail the Seer!""Bless the gods for bringing him to our midst!"Words like these traveled through the crowds as they chanted their war cries louder. I searched the faces of the warriors, looking for Rowan, and then I found it. His eyes were narrowed and squinting. He was obviously envious of the chants."Enough!" he shouted as the last wolf in the tree dropped to the ground dead. He looked at the splattered body, as though it added to the effect of his envy. "We have a long fight ahead of us. Save your energy for that." The warriors promptly obeyed and moved on silent

Selena's POVI felt a sharp sensation in my chest as I stirred on what seemed to be a bed. A bright light shone on my face, preventing me from opening my eyes. I could hear faint sounds around me-the clatter of feet's, hushed voices, clinking of metals-but I just couldn't tell where it was coming from."Z-Zane," I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper as I turned on my bed, trying to ease the pain that I was feeling in my chest. "Zane... where are you?" "She's awake, thank the moon goddess," I heard someone say faintly from afar. My head hurt badly as I slowly regained consciousness."Where am I?" I asked slowly, unable to say out the words completely. Opening my eyes, I blinked rapidly. I gazed around, disoriented, taking in the environment gradually as my memory fell into place."The battle, Rowan, where am I?" I asked slowly in whispers, trying to get up."You're right with us," I heard a familiar voice say, pushing me back down on the bed. "What about the battle?" I asked, t

Selena's POV"I gave that as my last instruction before passing out.""And he followed it to the very core," Zane replied his face gradually easing off, "such a jerk he is.""Oh, stop it," I said giggling. "Now, tell me, what would be the story at the moment if he had insisted on giving an aid to me? "Zane stared blankly at me, not at the point knowing where I was heading to. "Of course it would have been discovered that I was fooling them all along," I added, making meaning to my whole suspense. "Tearing up my dress to get the arrow out would have revealed the truth to them." "Hmm," Zane muttered as he thought on my words. "So his foolishness was to our own benefit."I was about giving him a reply when I felt a sudden emptiness in my current dimension. My wolf suddenly seemed to stray out of me, stepping on the bed and jumping down. It looked back, locking eyes with me and giving a low howl. I felt the very strong urge to get up and go with it. "Selena..... Selena..... Selena!!!!

Selena's POVWalking along the pack's surrounding, I noticed that a lot of pack members failed to recognize me. "I've met that face somewhere, it looks so familiar," they would say, turning to face me but returning back to their path.Thankful for that, I kept on moving, the hood of the gown worm on by the healer covering my head. I walked and walked, following the tracks of my wolf, until I found myself outside the pack, quite close to the borders."And where to, ma'am?" a warrior, assigned by Zane to those crossing and entering through the border, asked me after finding me wandering about. My wolf instantly returned back to me."On an errand for the Alpha," I said without lifting my head."And may I see your face? " he asked, still standing put."You're going to miss your meeting with the alpha, all the warriors are... ""You won't leave here till your face is revealed, " he cautioned, walking closer to me and wrapping his hands by his sword. "Your face, miss."Slowly, I lifted my h

Rowan's POVI sank into my seat with a hard sigh. The Seer was gone now, but still, I could hear that victory chants in his name echo across the courtyard, filling the night air with a chilling energy. The warriors revered him-no, they worshipped him. Why wouldn't they? He helped us during the war, repelling most of the attacks that would have killed us in an instant. I was grateful for what he did, yet, I had this unsettling feeling within me. Yes, I was torn between admiration and the bitter taste of jealousy, but there seemed to be something... more. I shifted my gaze to my open window where the cool night breeze blew into my room from. The blast of firecrackers, the bright lights of the fireworks and the book of cannonballs signalled the beginning of the celebration feast, all that were still done in the name of the Seer, the Chosen one. A low groan escaped my lips as I adjusted myself on my seat. Stretching my hands to the small stool by my side, I grabbed my gin bottle and pl

Rowan's POVSlumping back into my chair, my eyes locked into Raven's. Her expression was calm, but her eyes couldn't help betray a flickering of concern."A she?" she asked, her eyes narrowed and her voice measured. "Maybe you didn't hear him well." I shook my head. "Or maybe he addressed her as such as a mistake," I waved my hands gently in the air, dismissing her words. "No, not at all, Raven," I muttered, sucking in air through my teeth. "I know it can't be. An Alpha making a mistake twice?!! Nahhh." I gulped down the remaining drink and tossed the empty across the room. It landed on the floor with a soft clink and rolled away. I still was very much a clear contrast to what I had picked the bottle up for. Rowan's gaze drifted towards the bottle, her mind obviously filled with everything I had said. Walking to the other side of the room, she grabbed another gin bottle and a glass from the wine shelf. "The name of the Seer is being celebrated by our pack members for helping them

SELENA'S POV "Limited?" I muttered, the fine on my face deepening as I looked around the forest, still searching where the voice was coming from. "What do you mean by that?" Just then, I heard loud chatters come from behind me. A small gasp escaped my lips as I soon realized that I was without my masks. Luckily, I brought it with me, hidden in my gown. The voices were getting closer. Hurriedly, I placed the mask over my face and muttered some spells, sealing the disguise in place and causing my entire features to change. I turned right after to see three warrior wolves walking towards me. They had their claws shot out and we're covered from head to toe with blood. "And the rogues thought they could get me," one of the warriors said with a laugh, causing the others to join him. "The fool came at me and I swiped my claws at him..." he swiped his claws in the air, staining some of the trees around him with drops of blood, "... and it didn't take too long for him to drop dead."

Rowan's POVI became desperate, my blood running fast as I took quick uncontrolled steps towards her."Look, your life lies in my palms," I began to say, signalling the warriors to let go of her hands as I stared deep into her eyes. "Tell me what to do, and I'll honor your stay here. "She gave out a loud laugh, her fangs visible. She looked deep into my eyes, squinting hers. "And how do you think I'll be interested in such an offer?"I was confused. " Wait, you hate your life?"She shook her head vehemently, taking steps away from me.Ignoring my question, she headed to the throne. The guards that stood with her were alarmed as they attempted to rush to her, their claws shot out, but I restricted them, watching her closely.She moved around strangely like one possessed of several wolves."You wish to fight against the principles of prophesy, Rowan, " she said, giving out a mirthless laugh and taking a quick turn to face me. "You'd lead yourself sooner or later to your own downfall."

Rowan's POVWell, well, well," Kael said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Look what we have here. The great Alpha Rowan, risen from the dead."I aimed the knife at Kael, my eyes locked on his. "You're not going to be the new alpha, Kael," I growled, my voice low and menacing. "Not while I'm still alive."Kael's expression changed, his eyes narrowing as he realized I was a threat to his plans. He sneered at me, his claws shooting out as he gave a hissing sound"We'll see about that, Rowan," Kael said, his voice dripping with malice. "Let's settle this once and for all."I smiled, my eyes locked on Kael's. "I'm ready for you, Kael," I said, my voice steady and calm. "Let's end this."And with that he rushed towards me, his fangs shooting out and his eyes turning blood red. I stood still, a smile still flickering on my face. This would be a very short fight, and I knew it.He got to me, wiping his claws as I expected directly on the cut part of my hand.I smiled, releasing the knife I

Rowan's POVI broke the surface, gasping for air, and that's when I saw them. Three giant crocodiles, their eyes fixed on me, their jaws open wide. They were heading straight for me, their powerful tails propelling them through the water.My heart skipped a beat, and I felt a wave of panic wash over me. I was trapped, stuck in the water with no way to defend myself. The crocodiles were closing in, their teeth bared and ready to strike.I knew I had to act fast, or I would be dinner. But my mind was a blank, my thoughts frozen in fear. I was paralyzed, unable to move or react.And then, just as all hope seemed lost, I felt my wolf surge to the forefront. It was a primal, instinctual response, one that took over my body and mind.I snarled, baring my teeth, and prepared to face the crocodiles head-on. It was a desperate, last-ditch effort, but it was all I had."We're gonna die!!" the flippant warrior screamed in panic, his eyes completely shot." You have to stay strong!!" I roared bac

Rowan's POV"It's your turn, your majesty," Kael called out loud, and I couldn't help but notice a ting of envy and animosity lying beneath his voice.I shot a quick glance at him, noting with the moonlight how a flicker of smile had spread through his face. But was that the case or was I only seeing seeing things?I breath in real hard, turning to glance at the other two warriors standing with me. The faithful lad who helped tend my cut was ever scared, taking a step backwards and shivering in complete fright."You're the Alpha aren't you? Think of a way out of this mess!! " the flippant warrior chipped, running his eyes over me and taking fearful steps backwards all the same. I knew for sure he felt I couldn't win him in a fair fight with one hand chopped off.But he'd live to see that, or so I hoped."We must be strong, young ones," I managed to say. taking steps again towards the water bank. "If they on the other side could do it, then surely we can!!"I turned around to them, rea
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 183
Rowan's POVI could feel the pain coursing through my body, but it was nothing compared to the shock and unbelief that I felt.How could this have happened? I was the Alpha, the strongest and most powerful werewolf in the pack. I was supposed to be invincible, not some maimed and crippled creature.I looked up at my warriors, who were staring at me in shock and horror. I could see the fear in their eyes, the doubt and uncertainty. And in that moment, I knew that everything had changed. I was no longer the invincible Alpha, but a wounded and vulnerable creature."Alpha Rowan!!" three of the young warriors among the rest of the warriors called, taking quick steps forward to me.As they walked up to me, I looked up at the warriors scattered before me, noting with pleasure that most of the old generation of fighters were killed in the just ended battle with mysticshadow pack.I still had a chance to the throne, a chance to control them all and lord over them.With expert hands and a sense
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 182
Rowan's POVI had managed to rally my warriors back to my side, and as we trudged through the forest between mysticshadow pack and Redmoon back, my mind and thoughts travelled back to the words and prophesies of the werewolf I held captive."We must get to her... quick," I whispered to no one in particular, but my lead warrior caught the sound of my voice, as he ran towards me with utmost speed and devotion."To who, my lord?" he asked, his unusual aura of loyalty and complete devotion making me to turn to him with a quick glance."The prisoner," I replied dryly, halting at the same time. We had gotten to the river bank that crossed over to the boundaries of Redmoon pack, and noting the darkness of the night, I understood that if we were to cross over the water, then we'd do so with utmost care to avoid being eaten by the crocodiles. The warriors with me halted too, understanding the situation at hand."Warriors, If we must to cross this body of water, then we must do so with our liv

Selena's POVIt was getting all intense, as Karen brought herself so low in Zane's presence."I refuse to believe this!! You're my sister, my flesh and blood," Zane said, placing his hands on the desk adjacent his large bed."On the 22nd of May 1956, Karen was born into the noble family of Ethan, the lead councillor to Alpha Steve,"Karen read, her voice as calm as the summer waters.Zane looked fed up Karen and it caused him to turn around slowly. "What's that? I've had enough of your antics and schemes Karen, won't you give up already?"" Look!! This here contains the emblem of the ancient healer of Cyprus pack, the very last one to prophesy that the Chosen one would come from our continent!!"I watched in awe, noting from where I hid that the emblem looked authentic, a true seal from healers and infirmaries.Zane took the paper from her hands with a rush, peering through it and dilating his eyes in awe."No," he whispered, "this can't be, this just can't be."Karen became sultry aga
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 180
Selena's POVThis just couldn't be. I felt my heart and love for Zane shatter into a million pieces right in front of me."You'd lose the love of your life too," Karen had whispered into my ears earlier. It made much sense now. But she was his sister.What the hell was going on?I couldn't take it anymore I thought, but somehow I still felt drawn and attached to the scene. I couldn't make up much from there I stood, but it made nothing but sense to me. Their face was just too drawn to each other, their lips enveloped in each other's.Judging rather quickly, I turned around to flee. I would leave them to their disgusting affair. Yes. I'd flee back to my pack, where my werewolves await me and are willing to love me as much a I love them.Sealing up my mind and heart to do such and readying my feet to move away from Zane's room, something happened that changed it all."Away from me, thou slut!!" Zane roared, pushing Raven away from him.This made me turn back to face them, wondering wha
The Betrayed Luna Strikes Back Chapter 179
Selena's POVAs I concentrated, a flood of memories burst forth in my mind's eye. I saw myself back as a young and lost werewolf when I first touched the Aeges stone.The surge of power filled me again, followed by a good chunk of my memory.And I saw myself healing this guard, my hands moving deftly over his wounds, channeling the power of the moon goddess to mend his broken flesh.The guard's eyes widened in amazement as he felt the healing energy coursing through his body. "I'm being healed!" he exclaimed, his voice full of wonder.I smiled, my eyes still closed, as I felt the guard's wounds begin to close. I could sense the pain and inflammation receding, replaced by a warm, soothing sensation.As I finished the healing, I opened my eyes to see the guard looking at me with a mixture of gratitude and awe. "Thank you, Selena," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "Thank you so much!! Oh, I'm alive again!!"I beamed with smile and sense of satisfaction as he said this, the joy of a
